On: Hugging Face raises $235M from investors including Salesforce and Nvidia

Confusing Pricing.

https://huggingface.co/pricing

I’m probably missing the obvious, but one part on the pricing page it says Spaces Hardware starts at $0 … and another part says it starts at $0.05.

They are covering a range of use-cases. I agree the naming is inconsistent. It goes like this:

• Repository storage is free, with a paid enterprise offering, à la GitHub.

• Serving a demo app has hourly costs (“Spaces Hardware”)

• Serving a production model for an app hosted elsewhere is also hourly (“Inference endpoints”)

• Training models is free for now (“AutoTrain”; honestly I haven’t tried this one.)

The whole GTM is confusing. They're experts at ML and community, and awful at business. I know HN looks down on sales persons, but HF needs some good ones, ASAP.
